The performance in the Cabinet Room speaks as well to a growing worry: Will the President manage to turn his gaze overseas often enough to protect U.S. national interests? Nervous foreign governments are wondering how much clout the leader of the free world can still wield, and how fast it might drain away in the bloodletting over Interngate.

...have your autograph?" she asks. "Quite frankly, I'd like to have yours," replies Baldwin in a cool comeback. He starts to explain his cause and the need for people to sign the petition. But it is all in vain. She pays no attention to his moving lips, her gaze instead locked on his Aqua Velva blue eyes. She breaks her stare only long enough to yell, "Watch the store!"--a curious request since she's the only employee on duty...
